Banana Leaf Malaysian Cuisine

Denman Street is a very vibrant place in the evening. Located next to the beach at English Bay in Vancouver. And beaches remind us of coconut trees and seafood.Although we walked in to eat just before they were closing, our family was pleasantly surprised by the service and excellent Malaysian food. This is one restaurant we will visit again the next time we are in Vancouver

I had heard very positive reviews of this place, but I was astonished at how good it was - my friend and I went there twice in two days, and both times the delicious variety surprised us. I would definitely recommend the lunch platter which was 6 or 7 different small portions (there were chicken, fish and vegetarian platters you could order) and the dinner tasting menu with 7-9 small tasting portions.

Dropped on a whim. Seated outside in the sun. Food arrived quickly (suggesting it was pre-cooked) and were tasty. Staff were attentive and pleasant.

The lunch platter with kung pow chicken, pineapple and papaya salad, calamari and rice for $15 was hearty and delectable. The Malaysian panna cotta that came with it was light and refreshing. We weren't as happy on the gluten-free front. The same beef curry for $12 on the lunch menu was $17 when gluten-free and then the waitress came back to inform us that a rice bowl had to be ordered separately!

Excellent food....loved the banana leaf wine. Small location and friendly staff and great food....highly recommended.
